Reduction of waste biosolids by RAS-ozonation: Model validation and sensitivity analysis for biosolids reduction and nitrification

Biosolids reduction model by return activated sludge ozonation was validated by simulating nitrification data compiled from our pilot-scale and the literature studies. Then, a global sensitivity analysis (GSA) was performed to identify influential and non-influential parameters for biosolids reduction efficiency, change in specific nitrification activity (SNA), and alteration to expected nitrification stability. In general, the model outputs were sensitive to operational and ozone reaction parameters, but not to biochemical parameters. For operational parameters, mainly temperature and initial solids retention time (SRT) influenced all model outputs. For biosolids reduction, increase in the degradability of the influent COD decreased the reduction efficiency. For SNA, the changes were highly dependent on the influent TKN/COD ratio. Our findings also imply that the stability of the nitrification process in ozonated systems should be enhanced at constant MLVSS for warm temperatures, but could be reduced at temperatures below 12 °C and aerated SRTs below 10 days.     

Combined hardware–software multi-parallel prefiltering on the Convey HC-1 for fast homology detection

Protein databases used in research are huge and still grow at a fast pace. Many comparisons need to be done when searching similar (homologous) sequences for a given query sequence in these databases. Comparing a query sequence against all sequences of a huge database using the well-known Smith–Waterman algorithm is very time-consuming. Hidden Markov Models pose an opportunity for reducing the number of entries of a database and also enable to find distantly homologous sequences. Fewer entries are achieved by clustering similar sequences in a Hidden Markov Model. Such an approach is used by the bioinformatics tool HHblits. To further reduce the runtime, HHblits uses two-level prefiltering to reduce the number of time-consuming Viterbi comparisons. Still, prefiltering is very time-consuming. Highly parallel architectures and huge bandwidth are required for processing and transferring the massive amounts of data. In this article, we present an approach exploiting the reconfigurable, hybrid computer architecture Convey HC-1 for migrating the most time-consuming part. The Convey HC-1 with four FPGAs and high memory bandwidth of up to 76.8 GB/s serves as the platform of choice. Other bioinformatics applications have already been successfully supported by the HC-1. Limited by FPGA size only, we present a design that calculates four first-level prefiltering scores per FPGA concurrently, i.e. 16 calculations in total. This score calculation for the query profile against database sequences is done by a modified Smith–Waterman scheme that is internally parallelized 128 times in contrast to the original Streaming ‘Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD)’ Extensions (SSE)-supported implementation where only 16-fold parallelism can be exploited and where memory bandwidth poses the limiting factor. Preloading the query profile, we are able to transform the memory-bound implementation to a compute- and resource-bound FPGA design. We tightly integrated the FPGA-based coprocessor into the hybrid computing system by employing task-parallelism for the two-level prefiltering. Despite much lower clock rates, the FPGAs outperform SSE-based execution for the calculation of the prefiltering scores by a factor of 7.9.

Restructuring bank networks after mergers and acquisitions: A capacitated delocation model for closing and resizing branches

During restructuring processes, due to mergers and acquisitions, banks frequently face the problem of having redundant branches competing in the same market. In this work, we introduce a new Capacitated Branch Restructuring Model which extends the available literature in delocation models. It considers both closing down and long term operations׳ costs, and addresses the problem of resizing open branches in order to maintain a constant service level. We consider, as well, the presence of competitors and allow for ceding market share whenever the restructuring costs are prohibitively expensive.We test our model in a real life scenario, obtaining a reduction of about 40% of the network size, and annual savings over 45% in operation costs from the second year on. We finally perform a sensitivity analysis on critical parameters. This analysis shows that the final design of the network depends on certain strategic decisions concerning the redundancy of the branches, as well as their proximity to the demand nodes and to the competitor׳s branches. At the same time, this design is quite robust to changes in the parameters associated with the adjustments on service capacity and with the market reaction.     

Systematic convergence of nonlinear stochastic estimators on the Special Orthogonal Group SO(3)

This paper introduces two novel nonlinear stochastic attitude estimators developed on the Special Orthogonal Group with the tracking error of the normalized Euclidean distance meeting predefined transient and steady‐state characteristics. The tracking error is confined to initially start within a predetermined large set such that the transient performance is guaranteed to obey dynamically reducing boundaries and decrease smoothly and asymptotically to the origin in probability from almost any initial condition. The proposed estimators produce accurate attitude estimates with remarkable convergence properties using measurements obtained from low‐cost inertial measurement units. The estimators proposed in continuous form are complemented by their discrete versions for the implementation purposes. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed estimators against uncertain measurements and large initialization error, whether in continuous or discrete form.

Handover and Uplink Power Control Performance in the 3.84 Mcps TDD mode of UTRA Network

In this article we consider the performance of the 3.84 Mcpstime-division duplex (TDD) mode of UTRA (Universal TerrestrialRadio Access) network. We emphasize two of the radio resourcemanagement algorithms, handover and uplink power control, whoserole in the overall system performance is studied extensively.First, a handover algorithm used in WCDMA (Wideband Code DivisionMultiple Access) standard is considered in a TDD-mode operation.This gives rise to a careful setting of different handoverparameters, and the evaluation of the effects to the systemperformance. Secondly, the specified uplink power controlalgorithm is considered. Since it is based on several user-mademeasurements which may involve both random and systematic errors acareful study about the suitability of the power control scheme iscarried out.
